Now I know what I actually planted last year. I didn’t do much with MyFolia last year, but I am so glad I started to catalog my plants. Now I know what I actually planted last year.

It helps me keep track of what things re where, when they were planted and what problems or otherwise I have had. It may seem bizarre to take a notebook computer into the garden but the data that are being generated eg germination times for my area and times to maturity, are invaluable. It is helping me become much more efficient and the information will help next years plantings. Yes, I could do the same with paper but it would be a MESS!

It's extremely helpful if a plant needs a different spot or weeding in early spring when a green thing might be pulled up by its roots by accident! I take photos, too and have a many year tradition of standing in the same spot to get my favorite tree in all the seasons. I live in upstate NY.

I like to keep track of when I planted everything, take photos of progress and my finished 'harvests' of vegies, and if I couldn't do this online I'd end up with a box of photos that I meant to stick in a journal or calendar, with sticky notes reminding me of when to dig up potatoes and so on. MyFolia lets me make updates within minutes, and the photos can stay digital instead of having to be printed and stored. If a gardener was likely to actually keep a small journal up-to-date, or didn't care about record-keeping so much, I don't know if MyFolia would be so handy for them. But for me, it's fantastic.

This is an alternative to that journal. @Janet — I think that most serious gardeners keep a journal tracking their supplies, plantings, and growths. This is an alternative to that journal.

The point of organization and uncluttering should be to help streamline your life and make it simpler. All you get from this site is a way to add more online work to a completely offline activity. You're just making more work for yourself. If someone enjoys doing that as part of a gardening hobby, fine, but a post about it doesn't belong on this site. It's counterproductive - it doesn't simplify your life, it complicates it. Doesn’t this seem like more work than it’s worth?
